I've been writing some new poetry lately I don't know if its any good so I'd love to hear what people think...
Dear fairy queen, what treasure does hide, your hair as dark like coal dusted snow, eyes of candles they flicker with life, you command a army with swish of tail yet fall to crouch with a bird insight, what treasure dose hide your beauty my beasty, my beasty where do you hide, with softest touch i make you mine
P.S. its about my cat Plato if you were wondering(:
Sounds good, but I feel the meter/beat of it is off. Just try tapping it out on the stressed and unstressed syllables to see what I mean, and you'll notice it doesn't add up.
Thanks for taking time to read my poem it was just a bit of fun not meant to be taken too seriously I did win a competition with it though so I guess they must have read it a bit differently.
Here's some more this is a bit older and longer I wrote it while walking my dog
Of the shadows of the night the morning sparrows call. We keep a waiting for the light after dark and shall the holy cherry blossoms fall? Canter, follow, whisper and catch the spirits that go a dancing, listening for the sun to sing its final applause. Pink, orange, lilac grey covers sun kissed blue. Hovering silky clouds floating near and far. For as the light fades away our sight is lost and we must find our way. Fear builds, lightning strike, twisted wood where shadows lurk and sneak a wicked smile. Heartbeat pounding stillness, silence, searching, but all is unknown, for there is nothing but our own hostile thoughts that create our terror filled dread. The cackling witches flying high broomsticks twisted in a knot. Giggling imps and pixies dance the whole night through, among the toadstools, meadow flowers and the tufty grass. Howling, twit-a-twooing, chirping creates a holy symphony. Neat little boxes all in a row, all with little creatures draped with unwaking dreams, trapped in uncrafted beds, waiting for morning beams and the sweet taste of honey suckle dew through the air. Shall it come? What if god forgets to open heavenâs sun filled gates and leaves sweet night air, leaves the earth still in peaceful contemplation, each breath a reminder of the last. But always darkness does dispense into the chariot of fire rising over the hill. A summer breeze twists across our parched land, it circles the minds who have been waiting. Rain, dust, butterflies see the morning sun, for finely this watered sphere awakes.
